Scala HashSet java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

Following code throws exception after inserting 483180000 values. Is this expected. Is there any way to add more than a billion values into a mutable HashSet in Scala. Tried this code with Scala versions 2.11 and 2.12. Both versions throw same exception.

import scala.collection.mutable.HashSet

object TestApp extends App {
    val hs = HashSet[Int]()
    for (i <- 1 to Int.MaxValue) {
        hs += i
    }
}
